Catalogue Note
This is possibly the printer’s personal, unnumbered copy as it is eccentrically printed and bound: two pages are printed on one side of a leaf, each of which is then folded in half and bound as a quire, thereby leaving the fore-edge unopened. The copy is printed on laid paper, but a different stock from the limited edition (see lot 758).
